What games were released in May that were supposed to move consoles? As much as I love the Punchout series, I wouldn't buy a console for it. And Infamous For Ps3 was a fun game, But if I didn't already own one ,it wasn't a great enough game to warrant purchasing a system for.

Compared to last years game releases and the current world recession atm, console sales are doing amazing atm. No rele console moving games being released at the start of the year, and still decent sales figures. I wonder what would be happening if some actual games were being released.....

I agree with the current new releases being a possible cause along with the countries economy but just wait till Bioshock 2, and Tekken are realeased for the xbox360 and PS3. They are bound to spark some quick sells. I have read some reviews on Bioshock 2 and it looks awesome. If they play their cards right, have just as great a story line as Bioshock and maybe even make it more than Bioshock originally was in greatness, We could very well be looking at a candidate for Game of the Year.
